K1 is not a universal case. Covering seven iPhone generations means seven case moulds, and that single fact decides how a buyer has to plan the model and colour split of an order. It is also why there is no Android version.
| Device | Supported | Note |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 12 series | Yes | Each generation is supported across its Pro, Pro Max and Plus variants. Every model has its own shell mould, so the case is not interchangeable between generations. |
| iPhone 13 series | Yes | |
| iPhone 14 series | Yes | |
| iPhone 15 series | Yes | |
| iPhone 16 series | Yes | |
| iPhone 17 series | Yes | |
| iPhone 18 series | Yes | |
| Android devices | No | is being developed. |
| iPad and tablets | No | Phone form factor only. |
Because the product is a case, "supported" is a physical statement, not a software one: the phone has to physically fit the shell, the camera cutout has to line up, and the earbud channels have to close around it. A generation with a different camera island will not fit even if the screen size is similar.
This is the part buyers get caught by. The MOQ is stated per colour, but the real driver is the combination of model and colour.
| What you order | Consequence | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 2,000 pcs, one model, one colour | Below custom minimum | One mould, one plating colour, but under the 4,000 threshold for single-model runs. |
| 4,000 pcs, one model, four colours | Workable | One mould runs continuously; four plating baths of 1,000 each. |
| 4,000 pcs, four models, one colour | Workable but slower | Four mould changes, one plating colour. The set-up cost repeats four times. |
| 1,000 pcs, one model, one colour, custom logo | Workable | Meets the per-colour custom minimum, with the single-model surcharge reflected in price rather than refused. |
The case carries a magnet array aligned to the MagSafe ring position, and works with wireless charging. The practical arrangement:
| Charging the case and phone | Place the phone in the case on a standard Qi charging pad. The case accepts wireless charging, so the phone and the case charge together on the same pad — no second charger, no second cable. |
|---|---|
| Charging the earbuds | The earbuds charge inside the case from the case battery, which is 150–230 mAh. Nothing is plugged in to charge the earbuds directly. |
| Wired charging | USB Type-C input on the case, for fast charging when a pad is not available. |
| Magnetic accessories | The magnet array holds MagSafe-style mounts and wallets, so a car mount or a card holder still attaches. |
| Weight added | 45 g for the complete unit against a bare iPhone, which is the figure buyers notice most in the hand. |
Which iPhone models does the K1 case fit?
The full iPhone 12 through iPhone 18 series, including the Pro, Pro Max and Plus variants of each generation. Each generation has its own case mould and the case is not interchangeable between generations.
Does TalkShell K1 support Android?
No. There is no Android version and none is being developed. The app and the radio configuration are built for iOS, and an Android version would require a separate app and its own radio certification.
Why does a single-model custom order start at 4,000 pcs?
Because each iPhone model has its own case mould, so the mould change and set-up for that model has to be absorbed by one order. A run across several models repeats that set-up cost for each one.
Does wireless charging still work with the case on?
Yes. The case accepts wireless charging on a standard Qi pad, so the phone and the case charge together on the same pad. The earbuds charge from the case battery while docked.
Can I mix iPhone models in one order?
Yes, but the order is split into separate production batches by model. Mixing models does not reduce the per-model set-up, so a first order is usually better concentrated on the two or three models that dominate your market.
Is the case waterproof?
It is rated IPX5, which means protection against water jets from any direction. It is not rated for immersion, so it should not be worn or carried in water.
Tell us the two or three iPhone models that dominate your market and the colour split you want. We will come back with a quotation and a production sequence.
